Sometimes I'm just not in the mood to drink a lot of fluids for one reason or another... sometimes it's just because I just want to relax and not have to reach for a cup often, or get up to refill my glass all the time. But I find that I don't feel good when I do that.

Dehydration can definitely dry your skin out and make you itchy. Any good body lotion can help with that until and after you start rehydrating.

And if you are dehydrated enough to throw your electrolytes off, it can lead to shakiness, which could increase anxiety, which is not helpful for depression.
